Android offers several different options for data persistence.

Shared Preferences – Store private primitive data in key-value pairs. This sometimes gets limited as it offers only key value pairs. You cannot save your own java types.

Internal Storage – Store private data on the device memory

External Storage – Store public data on the shared external storage

SQLite Databases – Store structured data in a private database. You can define many number of tables and can store data like other RDBMS.
